Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean International announced March 13 to voluntarily suspend sailings departing from U.S. ports. All sailings through September 15, 2020 will be canceled, with a goal to resume operations on September 16, 2020.

• Canada sailings will be suspended through October 31, 2020, due to the Canadian government’s extended travel ban on cruise ship travel.

• Explorer of the Seas’ revitalization will take place August 2020 given the closure of shipyards along with the disruption to the supply chain caused by this pandemic. As a result, Explorer’s August 2020 sailings will be cancelled and the revitalization will be a technical dry dock where only routine maintenance work will take place.

• Cruise terminals will remain closed in Copenhagen, Denmark and as a result, on June 11, 2020 we decided to cancel the following sailings: Jewel of the Seas August 8, 16 and 23, 2020 sailings, & Brilliance of the Seas August 21, 2020 sailing.

• Refund amounts are based on total cruise fare paid (including additional services, packages and amenities purchased), but with a little extra, due to the unique circumstance.

• For a full refund, not a cruise line credit, guests have until Dec. 31, 2021 to request the 100 percent reimbursement to be made to their original form of payment. Unlike the 125 percent Future Cruise Line Credit, guest must contact Royal Caribbean to start the refund process.
